Bobby - Take a vacation? Really? Get out there and take one! And that's so cool that you're doing the century ride. I'd like to do a half century, at least... but someplace pretty, not out here in the desert, LOL!

So many cool ideas! I went out of the country to Bavaria last April for the first time, which was several bucket list items (get a passport, travel to Europe, etc) but I would also love to go to Ireland, so I should add that to my list.

I've been on several cruises, LOVE them! but would definitely like to go to Alaska. I think I want to do one of those monthlong things where it's a combination of cruising, train trips, and hiking. That's a SUPER BUCKET item!

Keep them coming! This is great motivation to keep our fitness efforts going!

Freedomstar - still thinking?

Especially an Alaskan cruise Hike in so many places I have yet to see in all kind of scenery (can you tell I'm an avid hiker?) Drive up Hwy 1 along the coast of California and up into Oregon and Washington I drove a little bit of it a couple of years ago and loved it so much I want to drive the whole way So many other places I want to see like Yosemite, Yellowstone, Mount Rushmore (and of of course hike)

Run in a 5K (coming up soon) Hike along the Appalachian Trail Raft down the Colorado River Visit Washington D.C. and many of its museums Visit Mount Rushmore Kayak in the ocean Visit every National Park in the U.S

1) Travel outside the US (6/15/10) 2) Run a half marathon (signed up for Garry Bjorklund half in June) 3) Swim with dolphins 4) See all 7 wonders of the world 5) Become fluent in French 6) Learn to really play the violin (haven't played in YEARS) 7) Dine in France

Half marathon in every state (run, but if not run, walk) Run a second marathon and break 6 hours Africa Australia and New Zealand Alaska again. See Bruce in concert live again (Fenway this summer?) Meet Jason Varitek in person Write a book

I have hiked to the floor of the Grand Canyon (and back up... LOL) but it was when I was much heavier and very unfit. I'd like to go back and backpack "rim to rim" (north to south). I would also love to hike half dome, and I want to travel to the Holy Land and to Egypt to see and visit the pyramids.

I haven't given the bucket list much thought but there are a few things:

Become a dan level go player Attend a European Go Congress Get to Japan on a vacation Take a cruise Memorize "All About Life and Death" volumes 1 and 2 which will help me with the first thing on my list.

I crossed the RiverWalk in San Antonio off my list this winter, and I was not disappointed. It was like your NY item - I had no idea why I wanted to go there, I just did! I have also ridden an airboat through the Everglades, which was a blast. I have had a cup of coffee in St Mark's Square. I rode a train through the Alps. I've sat in a hot tub in the middle of winter in the Canadian Rockies.

What I haven't done yet:

Hiking in the Grand Canyon Stay overnight in one of those Polynesian huts over the water. Ride an ostrich and an elephant (but strangely I don't want to go to Africa) Be a part of an archeological dig

Attend a Reba McEntire Concert - Completed 08/25/11 Become a certified Personal Trainer - Completed 02/04/12 Become an running coach - Completed 01/03/12 Warrior Dash/Go Commando Race (Gonna do a mud run this year) Ride a motorcyle for the first time Become a half marathon pacer Charter fish on Lake Superior Become an ultramarathoner Run Grandma's Marathon (Working to achieve this one this year!) Run the Boston Marathon Become a Half Fanatic 100 races by age 30, April 2016 Learn to ride a bike See a live flashmob To go on a cruise! Touch all oceans Experience love Visit Ireland Skydive - weee!

My Bucket List has been on my mind lately as I have watched Coach Nancy prepare to achieve one of HER Bucket List items - running in the NYC Half Marathon. One of my items is to run in Central Park someday - not even in a race but just to go for a run there. Don't ask why, because I couldn't tell you. It's just one of those things I've always wanted to do. Some of my other items are:

1) Run in Central Park, NYNY 2) Run with Coach Nancy and other SP friends 3) My first one item ever is still there - hike to the top of Half Dome. 4) Hike part of the Pacific Coast Trail. 5) Go on one of the jungle canopy tours, preferably with at least one zip line run. 6) Go dog sledding. 7) Go scuba diving someplace exotic, like Hawaii or Australia.

That's all I can think of off the top of my head right now. (It's probably more than enough, LOL!) I'm sure I'll think of more - I have a very adventurous spirit inside this less than fit body.

What do you have on YOUR Bucket List? I'd love to know. 'Cause, you know, I could always use more ideas!
